Discover & fund Outliers. Earn outsized returns with UP Funds
Upekkha coaches underrepresented SaaS founders on the Value SaaS way - build their revenue flywheel profitably. For you as an investor, this means a differentiated hedge to bet on.
UP Funds is a rolling fund on AngelList USA, launched in January 2021 that has WestBridge Capital and notable SaaS founders & corporate leaders as LPs.
Over the last 15 years, the index of public SaaS companies returned 4.9x. That’s way more than the 3x expectation of a VC fund. Over the next 15 years, more software companies will move to SaaS.
India will be a SaaS powerhouse
India’s next wave of tech giants will be SaaS companies, poised to get 9% of global market share by 2025, a Bain & Co report says. The report cites Upekkha as a key mover in this space.
Upekkha has top pick of SaaS outliers
Access and differentiation are the biggest challenges for individual investors. UP Funds broadens your access to SaaS outliers. Acceptance rate to the Upekkha Accelerator program is under 8%.

startups of first two cohorts are cash-flow positive
Before Upekkha, India lacked a strong ecosystem and platform focused on helping early-stage SaaS founders build successful and large businesses. We see Upekkha as a key partner, bridging that gap for early-stage SaaS founders who want to go global while staying rooted in India.

I moved from enterprise software to SaaS in the last decade. More recently, I have changed my focus from US SaaS startups to India to find the next best SaaS investments.
